N’Jie (reportedly) received the visa on Friday, meaning that the youngster is now a step closer to moving to Marseille.

It has been reported that the 22-year-old, who can play as a forward or as a winger, will join Marseille on a loan deal which will be made permanent after he plays a certain number of games for a transfer fee of €7 million (£5.91m).

N’Jie’s move to Marseille will mean that Tottenham will be able to sign Georges-Kevin N’Koudou from the French club, according to the report.

N’Koudou is 21 years of age and plays as a winger, and he could prove to be a good signing for Tottenham.

N’Jie joined Spurs from Ligue 1 outfit Lyon in the summer of 2015 and arrived at White Hart Lane with a good reputation.

According to The Mirror, Spurs had to pay as much as £12 million as transfer fee in order to secure the services of the 22-year-old.
